·I know this subject has probably been beat to death. I puy new pads on both front wheels, when i put everything back together i pumped the brakes a few times and it doesnt seem to be stiffening up at all. I started the engine held the front brakes and put it in gear...there not holding at all, there is minimal grip. do i need to bleed the brakes? did i do something wrong? Is there an adjustment im missing? I know they make a disc upgrade but i cannot afford it at this time. it is a 2002 and they have worked great up until now. The old pads had wear so it was time for new pads. when i did it, i did not remove the upper brake cylinder cap. I put the new pads on, squeezed both pads to get the pistons back to there closed position, put both drums back on, tightened everything, and pumped them up. I just dont feel im getting enough lever.....pleae help, thanks...Darrin
